AN: Don't own anyone but Fate and maybe someone else. Thank you for the reviews! I loved them! I'm probably only going to have a couple more chapters than end it.
Nick and Sara pulled themselves together and got their kits and started working on the room. Nick printed close to the entire room and came up with some good ones. Sara was looking for anything else while he was doing that. On the floor was one of Greg's shoes. Sara picked it up and looked at it and found a little piece of cloth on it.
"Nick is it just me or does it smell like a cigar in here?" Sara asked him when he was trying to lift a print.
"I was just thinking that Sara. What do you think, whoever came in her smoked or had just smoked a cigar?" Nick said looking up at her before putting away the lifted print.
"I'll collect the sheets to see if there's any ashes or something on them," Sara said grabbing a paper grab for the sheets.
Greg woke up in a damp, dark room. He opened his eyes little by little trying to figure out where he was (where ever 'was' was). He heard some footsteps outside the room and didn't dare to move.
The door open and he saw the outline of his kidnapper.
"Good you're awake," he heard a male's voice say as lights flickered on from a light bulb above Greg. Greg's eyes had to adjust to the new light source. When Greg's eyes finally started working again he got a good look at the man.
"You? Wait I know you!"
"What?" Grissom said to Sara when she told him what had happened.
"He's gone Gris," Sara said with a tear close.
Grissom stared at her for a long time like she was a piece of evidence that he couldn't understand. "How long?" Was all he could say.
"I'm guessing about 5 hours," Sara told him.
"Ransom note?"
"Only a note found in his glove department in his car," Sara replied while handing him the note.
"Do you think its Fate Copper again?"
"She's behind bars Grissom."
"She didn't have to touch you to put three holes in your stomach."
Her stomach had a stinging pain in it from his words. She was too preoccupied with Greg missing to pay any attention to the pain in her stomach. The pain wasn't just from a knife. It was from the pain of knowing she may never see Greg again.
"Do you think all that being together is worth everything that goes wrong?" Grissom asked her, probably just to see her reaction and somehow try to get a grip on how people can put their hearts into one another.
"Yes," she said without hesitation and walked out to go find Nick. See found him getting himself coffee.
"Hey," she heard him say with his back to her.
"What? How'd you know it was me? You have your back to me," she asked confused.
Turning around to face her he said, "I saw you walking down the hallway figured you were gonna come find me."
"Prints any good?"
"Yeah but we have a problem… He belongs in the room," Nick told her.
"Who?"
"Trey Stockdale." Nick said with a little resistant.
"Who?" Sara echoed.
"Oh, that's right you never heard the full investigation with your stabbing. See Greg had 4 suspects who actually did the stabbing. Trey was the best friend of Fate Copeper."
Sara just stood there for a moment realizing what this could mean. "Let's go talk to him," Sara said walking out.
They got down the hospital and hunted him down. They got him in the waiting room and Sara started.
"Was Greg Sanders in your list of patients to help?"
"Uh, yeah the car accident guy?" He said trying to play stupid.
"Hey, cut it, we need your help. He's missing buddy," Nick said with enough attitude in it to get his point across.
"Oh, him!"
"Shut up, we know you're good friends with Fate. You know the girl who had me stabbed," Sara told him. He looked up at her like she was a virus and was disgusted by her.
"That was you…" he started.
"Yeah, now when did you last see him?" Sara told him.
"Uhh… Well, earlier that day I checked up on him. Straightened up his room a little and that's it, I swear," He told them.
"Look, whatever you want from me I'll do it. Just let me go please…" Greg was trying to beg with his kidnapper. The guy stopped working on whatever he was and looked down at Greg.
"Oh no you got a long way from here to get through," He told him with a little laugh in his voice.
